Steve Barnett, partner at Shepherd’s commercial department in Glasgow, said: “This significant letting marks Prezzo’s introduction to Glasgow’s city centre and cements the reputation of the immediate vicinity as a popular restaurant location, whilst also enhancing its appeal to nearby office occupiers.

"Prezzo’s offering is very strong throughout the UK and I’m sure that the restaurant will prove to be a great success in this prime location.”

CB Richard Ellis and Shepherd are also marketing a range of office suites above the new restaurant at £10 per square foot.

Prezzo already has restaurants at Silverburn Shopping Centre on the southside of Glasgow, Union Square Shopping Centre in Aberdeen and at Pier Place in Edinburgh.
